AFC Telford overcame adversity to force an FA Cup fourth qualifying round replay with Blyth Spartans.

Traffic congestion meant that the Bucks arrived at Croft Park just 40 minutes before kick-off.

Rob Smith's side then had to tackle more problems when Gavin Hurren was red-carded shortly after half-time for an off-the-ball incident.

But a solid defensive display, as well as several fine saves from Ryan Young mean they will play again on Tuesday.

Bucks assistant boss Larry Chambers told BBC Radio Shropshire: "We set out to be strong from the word go - it was a very, very hard working performance."
